Not investment advice. Muhabbit scores how much a story may matter, not which way to trade.

Core Lightning released version 26.06.10, urging node operators to upgrade to patch channel-balance risks and remote crash vulnerabilities in the Lightning Network implementation. Maintainers are withholding the specific tests for the fixes to give node runners time to update before details become public. The flaws could expose channel funds to balance-related risks and allow remote peers to crash nodes. Node operators should prioritize upgrading to avoid potential channel disruptions and to ensure compatibility once the withheld tests are published.
